Re: [Help-smalltalk] GNU Smalltalk 3.2.4 released

[Travis Griggs]

Unfortunately, the expression

gst-package --download grease -t ~/.st

still fails after a successful build of 3.2.4. :(

Looking at the source and line numbers, it looks like someone is passing nil to 
Filename>>asAbsolute:

So this is a great for me to ask one of those "transition" questions. As a 
VisualWorks developer (and in most Smalltalks such as Squeak as well), I'd get 
an error notifier at this point, and hit the debug button, and up would come 
the Smalltalk killer app: It's own debugger, and I'd look at things and figure 
out what went wrong. I'm guessing GST, at least in this mode, is different. 
So... what do people do when confronted with one of these exception traces on 
stderr?
